Summary

This study tests whether a patient safety checklist (PASC) helps adults recovering from major surgery feel more satisfied with their discharge education and reduces communication problems with healthcare staff. About 264 participants will either use the checklist from the day surgery is scheduled until discharge or receive standard care. The goal is to see if a simple tool can improve how well patients understand their recovery plan and feel heard.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a patient safety checklist for self-use during the perioperative period
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple checklist could improve how well surgical patients understand their discharge instructions and feel heard by their healthcare team.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-center trial, and the checklist's benefits may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups. It relies on patients using the checklist correctly.
